Paisley Purse for BBTB2

The challenge over on BBTB2 today is to use one of the handbags from the Paisley cartridge. Well since I have had such a hectic weekend, it was lucky that I had this one already in the bag so to speak....it's one of the cards from this month's Papercraft Inspirations quick cards.
The base card is 6 x 6, the bag was cut at 5" and run through the cuttlebug. Spotty paper is Making Memories, and I added a few beads threaded onto silver wire
Be sure to pop over to BBTB2 to see what the team did with the challenge, and join in with the blog hop


Well I had a blast at the NEC on Saturday. I started the day by meeting up with Lou (LoopyLou), Kat and Nikki from the Cricut message board for a coffee and a giggle. Whilst I was waiting to meet them, there was a rather bizzare line of Star Wars characters walking around - stormtroopers, Darth Vader, Chew Bacca, the lot really. Turns out there was a Memorobilia exhibition in another hall.
So I was standing next to two elderly ladies who were looking a bit bemused
"what are they supposed to be Mary?"
"Don't know. Don't think it's anything to do with making cards though"
long, long silence..........................................
"They look a bit uncomfortable to me"
Well yes, I don't suppose clanking around in white plastic armour all day is the most comfortable job in the world - so here I am cheering up one of the stormtroopers.................
After that, it was downhill all the way, I met up with my blog buddies Kath, Carol, Lynda and Dawny (Pink Piggy) who seemed to know everyone in the place, we meandered along to the pub and spent most of the morning there chatting and laughing, a bit of shopping, then back to the pub................and so the day went on. I met Jacqui (Cat's Whiskers blog), Kim Piggot, the lovely peeps over at Craftwork Cards, .............oh it was all so much fun. Kath was staying with us for the night, so in the evening Lynda and Mark joined us for a curry and Kath and I stayed up gassing until 3am.......................
So it was lovely, thank you all so much for your company, fun and a lot of laughs.

  17. Love the card Enfys!!!! I'm so glad you had such a wonderful time..I am smiling from ear to ear right now..your cards, and posts...they just do that to me!!!

    And YOU!!! Snogging with a storm trooper, oh my!!!! LOL. (yes I have watched too much BBC and read Harry Potter ;) ).

    2 summers ago when all 3 kids were here, my 2 science fiction, manga, role playing kids & I went to Atlanta for a convention called Dragon con. My daughter Murray had to have her photo taken with every person she could find that was dressed up. It was fun for awhile until a drunken guy in a Hula skirt decided to start kissing her..she was a bit shocked! My oldest son abandoned us for game playing, and we went on to meet the "stars."

    Out of all the autographs she received the sweetest was from Sean Astin from "Lord of the Rings" He just stared at her, and previously had been signing his name, but he asked her what her name was, told her it was very pretty, and then gave her the sweetest smile, and signed it to her. It was adorable. Yep there I go, babbling again!!!

    Thanks again Efys for the great smiles & "giggles" you gave me this am!!!!!!!

    *hugs*

  31. I love the purse card. I love the inspiration you give.

    Also, great story about the Star Wars characters. I keep forgetting that these things exist in Europe too. I'm just a PBS, Masterpiece Theater, old England gal, so I guess I'll have to visit with my Sister and set our history clocks straight.

    Thanks for sharing.
